<p>I have been accepted to Purdue for their Chemical Engneering undergraduate.
Howerver, since i'm an international, the tuition is quite high.
my other choice is TAMU but i will not know the decisions untill april.</p>
<p>What i would like to know which degree will be more reconized and wanted?
Will it be easier to find a job with a purdue degree or is there little difference?</p>
<p>Thank you</p>
<p>There's little difference in the name of the degree. Sometimes, It'll just depend on the area of the country you want to work in as to which has the better name (Northeastern vs. Southern). Visit both of them and make your choice based on which college fits you best. I'm not sure about Purdue, but at A&M the student body is mostly white conservatives. Even if that is not your description, maybe A&M fits you better than Purdue.</p>
<p>thank you for your help</p>
<p>A&M has a great chemical engineering program and they have a superb alumni network. If you attend A&M there is a 98% chance that you will become completely indoctrinated by A&M's brainwashing. If not, you will be known as a "2 percenter".</p>
<p>Regardless, I know lots of Aggies that make 6 figures as chemical engineers not that far out of college. That includes my brother who had a 2.0 GPA at A&M and was rejected 30 times before getting his first 2 offers (within 3 months of graduation).</p>
<p>wat do u mean by A&M's brainwashing?</p>
<p>Purdue actually has one of the largest international student populations among public schools, so you might have an easier time fitting in there. You'll probably want to contact as many people as possible from both schools to get a feel for where'd you would fit in. If you could visit them that'd be the best thing.</p>
<p>I can't speak about ChE, but, in terms of EE, I don't think there's a huge difference in recruiting. There are quite of a few Purdue grads at intel, and I've met some from A&M as well. From purdue, I know of others at amd, ti, google, microsoft - again companies that are more-EE centric than chE, but I'd imagine the caliber of recruiting is similar even for more chE-centric companies. From second hand info, A&M gets access to most of these companies as well.</p>
<p>It might ultimately come down to price. Seeing that you're an international student, aid will probably be hard to come by, no?</p>
<p>i would personally choose Purdue b/c i would definately not be able to fit in at TAMU
Purdue is one of the top engineering programes</p>
<p>yes
Purdue doesn't offer any aid for inetrnational.
Thats y i prefer A&M.</p>
<p>I think you might have a better time fitting in at Purdue. TAMU is a great school, but I wouldn't feel comfortable going to there, even though I was born in the US. It's known to be a harsh environment if you're not a white, southern, right-wing conservative Christian. Maybe that's just a bad stereotype, but that is all you ever hear from there.</p>
<p>i have decided to go to purdue.
it seems more suitable for me</p>
